It's a Boy!


Mr. D and I had a gender reveal party this past weekend and enjoyed sharing the gender of our baby with our close friends! During the party we handed out to our guests white cupcakes that were filled with the gender-revealing color. I had a lot of fun biting into the cupcake alongside everyone else and seeing the blue color hidden inside representative of a boy!

We are planning to name him after his grandpa on my husband’s side.

A few weeks ago Mr. D and I took a trip to Las Vegas to visit Mr. D’s family and we shared with his grandpa that if we had a boy we would name our boy after him. Mr. D’s grandpa was pretty excited when called him a week later to tell him that we found out we were having a boy and that he would have a great-grandchild to share his name.

Overall we’ve enjoyed all the love and support we’ve received from our friends and family. We hope we are up to the task of becoming parents and are looking forward to the big life transition.

-Mr. D and Mrs. M

My sister Torrey's Wedding to Hyrum

A couple weeks ago David and I took a trip just the two of us to Utah for my sister's wedding! Spending time in Utah was very special for me.  We left our three boys back home and our cousin Trevin watched them for us. (While we were gone, Trevin sent "proof of life" photos as well as several photos of their adventures so that we wouldn't worry about our kids.) We stayed with David's sister who recently moved to north Provo area. The evening before my sister's wedding we had a family dinner where we all got to make toasts for Torrey and Hyrum and celebrate them. Torrey told me that my husband's toast for her was one of her favorites.  I got to be there with Torrey and Hyrum in the Payson Utah Temple. I got to see family and catch up with old friends who have since moved to the Utah area. I loved being a part of Torrey's wedding and celebrating her and Hyrum meeting each other and being able to enter this next stage of life together and a married couple...

We are Utahn's now!

We've moved to Highland Utah and are enjoying this new chapter of our lives here! We have discovered that Utah has lovely late summer/early falls. The weather is nice out each day and we are finding ourselves spending a lot of time outside. The kids ride bikes and scooters in the front yard in our cul-de-sac with the neighborhood kids. Our neighbors are warm and friendly. Now that we live on a flat street, Neil has learned how to ride a bike. We live near a paved bike trail called the Murdock trail that is amazing. We enjoy going to Neil's soccer games as a family. The doorbell rings every day with neighbor kids coming over to play. James was invited to his second-ever friend birthday party. Feel free to comment with what you like about where you live and your favorite things to do outdoors. 

Birthday month for the boys!

Something fun in our home is that our boys all have May birthdays. We loved celebrating their birthdays with them and their friends this year. We tried to make each child's birthday special.  We also had a neighborhood community party!
